About
I am a fourth year student in the History PhD program who focuses on late 19th-20th century U.S. history. I study conservatism, the radical far-right, extremist groups, white supremacy, immigration restriction, and conspiracy theories. My MA thesis emphasized the construction and implications of the white power movement over the late 19th and 20th centuries, through the examination of "Great Replacement"-themed conspiracy theories.
I am also the current Marchand Public Engagement Intern at the California History-Social Science Project. For more on my work there, please check out our website!
